Place-Based Transition Fund Salon 9.25.24 | New York Climate Week
The Peace Department, Metabolic, Open Earth, and Dark Matter Capital spotlighted Circular Charlotte and Platform for Social Impact (PSI) as a way to amplify current Place-Based Transition efforts.
Key Takeaways:
Diverse Approaches, Common Goal: While initiatives may be anchored by different sustainable development goals (e.g., green solutions vs. social and economic goals), the place-based approach allows for the integration of additional SDG-focused solutions to create holistic support for marginalized communities.
Community Buy-in and Partnership: Strong community involvement and partnership-building are essential for the success of place-based models.
Blended Finance: Combining various forms of capital (i.e., public, private, philanthropic) can help de-risk, scale, and facilitate the integration of diverse sustainability-focused solutions.
Scalability and Replication: Distilling best practices and creating efficient processes can enable the replication of successful initiatives in different contexts, creating a multiplier effect and potential systems change.
Thank you to our incredible speakers, Amy Aussieker from Envision Charlotte and Eduardo Carrera from PSI, for sharing their insights and contributing to the success of our event!
